This Ketogenic Broccoli Cheddar Soup Has Been Shared 100,000 Times on Pinterest

Whether it's due to the New Year or just the normal ebb and flow of health and wellness trends, the ketogenic diet seems to be on everyone's minds as of late. Defined as a "low-carb diet that drastically reduces the foods that turn into sugar in the body" by Maria Emmerich, author of The 30-Day Ketogenic Cleanse, the keto diet has continued to amass a fan base into 2018.

Keto devotees subsist on a diet of non-starchy vegetables, wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats, and healthy fats like coconut oil, olive oil, and nuts so that their bodies start to use fat as the primary source of fuel (as opposed to carbohydrates). This switch puts your body into a metabolic state called ketosis, which can reportedly control food cravings, help with weight management, and lower your risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
